Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Tips:
If short on time, use one 12-ounce package of frozen winter squash instead of a small butternut squash; heat according to package directions.The black bean mixture can be heated in the microwave.
For a subtle change in flavor, try mango salsa instead of pineapple salsa.
Wine Advice:
Pair these flavorful wraps with a crisp and fruity white wine such as Pinot Grigio or a light-bodied rosé. The tropical flavors of the pineapple salsa and the richness of the squash and black beans will be beautifully complemented by the refreshing acidity of these wines.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
